QUILT OF THE WEEK...

This week's picture features a quilt top that I "cheated" to make. I had this beautiful Judie Rothermel Baltimore Album quilt kit, but try as I may, I just couldn't complete it via hand applique. The blocks are just too small.

So, I tweaked it by enlarging the blocks a bit and using fusible web followed by a very time consuming machine buttonhole stitch with cotton thread. Okay, don't look too close, really. I am not the best machine stitcher either. LOL.

Anyway, I am NEW to blogging, but am trying to get up to speed, so SOON I will have a LINKY for you to add your new quilt top images to. Have a GREAT day!

Here's a close up shot on a block so you can see the detail better.

I love this small quilt now that it's done.
